This one ticks so many boxes it’s had to add a few extra of its own. A five-bedroom detached house that’s pretty much in the centre of a triangle formed by Macroom, Bandon, and Ballincollig and is less than 30 minutes from the city centre.

No 7 Ryecourt Woods in Cloughduv is A-rated and was built in 2020, which means it still has three years left on the Homebond guarantee. There’s underfloor heating on the ground floor, an electric car charge point to the front, and a south-facing garden to the back.

There are two good-sized family rooms, as well as a home office and a large triple-aspect kitchen/dining room.

One of the owners says they comfortably sat 20 people here at Christmas: “There’s room to extend the six-seater table for eight or 10 people, and with a garden table brought in for the day and seating for four at the island, we had plenty space.”

That kitchen island was one of the only real changes to the house: “We wanted an extra big island, I love cooking and my daughter bakes and there’s room to prep food and have people sitting and chatting too. It’s a great feature.”

Outdoor entertaining and dining is also easy to sort here, with a west-facing garden that gets sun from early afternoon making a perfect spot for new owners to set up pizza oven.

Dulux dapple grey paint downstairs gives a modern, neutral photos or art backdrop.

You’ve a short 550m stroll to a lovely batch of conveniences including supermarket Cuddihys of Cloughduv, the poetically named local pub The Spreading Chestnut, a pharmacy, a primary school, local GAA club, a church, and a GP’s surgery, and there’s a great gym, Akita Fitness only a six-minute drive away too,” notes the owner.

Auctioneer Jason O’Regan of O’Mahony Walsh points out the lovely flow to this A-rated home: “All rooms are a great size here, and with five bedrooms and an office downstairs and there’s a brilliant amount of space.”

VERDICT: Perfect pitch in Cloughduv — a modern A2-rated home with space and style.
